Azure AD on the left, Synology on the right - what's in the middle?

I've been hoping there was some way to use the AzureAD credentials (the Office 365 logins) for authentication on the Synology NAS, but it looks like there isn't anything direct between the two. I'm looking further, and there it looks like Windows Server would be the middle, but it's pretty expensive for what we are looking for (just simpler logins). But is there any other way, using an OpenLDAP server as an intermediary, or Open Directory (because that makes managing the few things we need to on the Macs easier). Or is this a pipe dream?

I'm thinking of buying a Synology NAS. I'm a photographer and all my (huge) RAW files are on three external HD's. I'm running out of space and want the security of extra back-ups. Anyway. I'm used to having to be able to see those HD's on my desktop and ad/delete and work from them. Will tha...

Hey, all. We're fans of Synology NASes here and recommend them to our clients as well as using them ourselves. I noticed that it's usable as a DNS server. How do I make it a secondary DNS server in an AD environment, if possible? Thanks!
